Bangkok is our last stop in Thailand, and it turns into the most chaotic stretch of the whole trip. We break down how we booked a luxury Park Hyatt stay with points and Amex credits while juggling traffic, malls, heat, and two kids getting sick at the worst possible times.
• flying Bangkok Airways and dealing with delays plus airport traffic
• using the Bangkok taxi kiosk system and deciding when the train makes more sense
• booking Park Hyatt Bangkok with Hyatt points and Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts credits
• how the hotel created an “almost connecting” room setup with a private foyer
• sticker shock at the hotel steakhouse and what we’d skip next time
• standout Park Hyatt breakfast buffet and the infinity pool experience
• the market meal with Terrence that ends with elevator vomit and a fast staff response
• pushing the Grand Palace to the next day then bailing after round two of sickness
• building a smart indoor backup plan with Bangkok malls and air conditioning
• trying durian once and learning why hotels ban it
• a midnight bedding disaster, blood in vomit, and a rapid ER run at an international hospital
• what to ask for when you need receipts and paperwork for travel insurance
• why tipping housekeeping and staff matters when they rescue your trip
• outsourcing laundry in Thailand to save time and sanity
